Kudos to Disney and First Book

Publishers Weekly just reported that Disney is donating $500K and eight Million books to the national nonprofit group First Book, who strive to get  new books into the hands of kids from low-income families. It’s been reported that on average First Book gives out an average of over 25,000 books a day. Last year alone, they distributed 7.5 million books to kids in need.

Hopefully, some of those eight million books will be graphic novels for younger readers, but regardless, this is great news for a worthy cause.
